Normally I would do build logs of the things I built for SDCC, but this year was chaotic, with me building Chirrut’s lightbow from Rogue One on top of finishing Death Trooper armor. So, this time around, instead of posting pictures of several months of work, I’m going to show the final result.

For my Halloween costume this year, I am working on a screen-accurate Rey from The Force Awakens. Her most definitive prop, aside from her blaster and her lightsaber, is her staff. So, I decided to 3D print one. Here’s the side-by-side progress of it so far: Here an early first pass of the weathering. I used…

Over the past few months, I have been art directing The Rock’s YouTube Channel, designing almost every visual asset for the bi-weekly video uploads. For the Season Finale of Rock the Promo, I was asked to design a wrestling belt. Here was my initial design, made in 123D Design: The initial plan was to get it printed…

Over the past few months, I have been putting together a replica of the arm cannon from my favorite video game, Metroid Prime. This is part of a full set of armor that I intend to eventually complete for cosplay purposes at conventions. As this is no small endeavor, I am posting my current…

I’ve recently gotten into airsoft, and I decided to start my own YouTube channel around it. I have worked to get GoPro first person footage dialed in a bit more, so it’s film LUTed and unwarped. Check it out!

About a month ago, I decided to take the plunge and buy a 3D printer. My partner, along with other friends have been very curious about why I am getting interested in Rapid Prototyping and making in general (when my major is not very related), and I have actually been similarly curious why I continually…
